There are many things which can bring joy to those around us and one of those things is family. Families can be bonded together through the company and companionship of one another as well as things like games and successes. For many people, participation in group based activities and open communication are the keys to aiding family ties. Communicating with Family Over dinners, families can have discussions about themselves and their individual achievements, figuring out how those individual achievements benefit the family as a whole. Some of these achievements include finding new hobbies, doing well in school, getting promotions at work, and anything in between. New Hobbies  There are many new hobbies that people are taking up today, some of them involving the internet in [...]

2016-02-26T13:46:19-05:00February 24th, 2016|Categories: Featured, Happenings|Tags: |Comments Off on A new concept: South Boston-Seaport Catholic Collaborative

By RICK WINTERSON You perhaps have passed by the recently opened office of the South Boston-Seaport Catholic Collaborative, located at 307 West Broadway near the intersection with D Street. The Catholic Collaborative is a new concept – less than a year old – to handle the Catholic Church’s mission of ministry and governance. This article reports on an interview about the Catholic Collaborative with its new pastor, Fr. Steve Madden. Fr. Steve, as he prefers to be called, is local. He was born in Somerville; the Madden family lived in St. Joseph Parish close to the town line with Cambridge.  He’s the second oldest of five sons: Dan, Fr. Steve, Paul, Michael and Sean. His mother, now deceased, was named Catherine, and his father Daniel [...]

Openings and renovations: A look at South Boston’s ever-changing culinary scene

2016-02-26T13:47:31-05:00February 24th, 2016|Categories: Business, News|Tags: |Comments Off on Openings and renovations: A look at South Boston’s ever-changing culinary scene

By RICK WINTERSON There’s a lot of action – dining and drinking action — on and around East Broadway near L Street, as well as that stretch just below Perkins Square – technically, West Broadway, of course, but still referred to as “Upper.” Once upon a time, those few blocks were called “Big Broadway,” leaving the rest of it to be known as “Little,” we guess. There’s an intriguing bit of ground-floor frontage looking out on the intersection of L and Broadway from the southwest. It begs for a restaurant, and the paperwork is underway, but what will it be? We’re betting on a steak-and-designer-cocktail place, but admittedly we haven’t done our investigative legwork yet. Sixth Gear Cask & Kitchen has opened on L and [...]

That’s the day that Christ paraded into Jerusalem for Passover, and was greeted by joyful crowds spreading palm branches before Him.

Youth ambassadors travel to assist with disaster relief work

2016-02-24T15:08:14-05:00February 24th, 2016|Categories: News|Comments Off on Youth ambassadors travel to assist with disaster relief work

The South Boston Community Health Center’s Youth Ambassadors are going on their eighth community service trip. This year’s trip will be to Detroit, Mich., where our youth will be doing disaster relief work. In August 2014, a large storm system moved across Michigan producing record rainfalls that caused severe flooding in over 128,000 homes in the greater Detroit area. While it was considered to be the largest domestic disaster of 2014, it was largely overlooked. As a result, the affected families, many of whom were already in an economically depressed state, are still struggling to make basic repairs to their homes nearly a year and a half after the floods. The youth ambassadors will be spending their school vacation helping those who were affected by [...]
